German biophysicist
Ilme Schlichting(born March 8, 1960) is a Germanbiophysicist.
Ilme Schlichting studied biology and physics at theUniversity of Heidelbergfrom 1979 to 1987. She earned aPhDin biology there in 1990. Schlichting pursued post-doctoral studies at theMax Planck Institute for Medical Researchand atBrandeis UniversityinBostonin the United States as a Feodor Lynen Fellow. From 1994 to 2001 she was head of a working group at theMax Planck Institute of Molecular PhysiologyinDortmund.Since 2002 she is director of the department for Biomolecular Mechanisms at theMax Planck Institute for Medical Research.
Schlichting has studied the structure and operation ofbiomoleculesusingprotein crystallography.During her PhD she made important contributions to the understanding of the switch function of theMichaelis complexand hence to the understanding of thisenzymeduring her doctorate using the Laue method.[1]
Recently, Schlichting has been one of the founders of time-resolvedprotein crystallographyatFree-electron lasers.
